pink triangle anniversary turntable with the origin oive dc drive upgrade

Notes kindly provided for upgrading the pink triangle anniversary turntable by Ian Ward of Vickers Hi Fi in York

1. The original sub-chassis mounted PT motor housing must be used. The original pulley must be removed to enable removal of the old motor (usually by heat - hairdryer or soldering iron on pulley - pliers).


2. Remove the origin Live mounting plate and cork washer from the top of the motor. The motor fits snugly and teh motor screw holes lines up conveniently as well. The original fixing screws can be used.


3. The motor cable is routed across the top of the sub-chassis and into a convenient channel used with the previous motor towards the exit hole on the rear of the deck. Some method of clamping the cable is required here.


4. The exit hole was formerly occupied by a DIN socket attached to the old motor. There is not enough angle to push the OL plug through the vacant hole. A few mm have to be drilled away inside the plinth to obtain the necessary angle.


5. Again a clamp of some type is preferable as the motor cable exits the deck.


6. Once the TT suspension is re-set, it may be necessary to level the motor mounting so it is parallel with the top plate. This is done with the aid of the existing washers beneath the mounting, and tightness of the fixing nuts on top.


7. The OL pulley is significantly smaller in circumference than the original PT item. Therefore a smaller drive belt (OL supplied 424mm diameter belt) is the answer.
